An update to my cooking, I made my freezer pickles Tuesday night. I haven't been able to try them yet, you have to let them sit for 24 hours in the freezer so they are thawing now. YUM! Its my grandma's recipe and I LOVE them. I also made blackberry syrup. Now i need ice cream or pancakes to try it out on but it tasted good on a spoon. The recipe was basically blackberries plus sugar and water. How can you go wrong with blackberries and sugar? On my parents way back from NC they dropped off two huge containers of blueberries. Now I need to try to find a way to use those. Yesterday, I also cooked and froze 8 of the ears of corn they brought down. I'm sure it'll be great come this winter.

I just realized how "domestic" I am sounding. Wow. If anyone is reading this that doesn't know me, I'm not that domestic, trust me. I got called domestic a few weeks ago and it just didn't sit right with me. I don't know why. I was at JC Penny's and found some curtains on clearance so I bought them to try out in my living room. I see one of my male classmates and when he looked at what I was buying he said "Being domestic huh?" My response was "you expect Kyle to buy curtains?" Oh well, maybe it was just the fact that I don't really care for that person as to why it put me off.

My uncle came down a few weeks ago to measure for new windows for the house and Dad finally ordered them. I am so excited! Even though we have storm windows throughout, I really think the windows are original to the house, so 60ish years old. They need replacing! The windows came in today, yay! Unfortunately, they are back home so who knows when my uncle, dad, and cousin will be able to come up and install them. I just requested that they be in before winter. Can't ask too much of free help right?
